Masako Nozawa (Japanese: 野沢 雅子, Hepburn: Nozawa Masako; born October 25, 1936) is a Japanese actress. Beginning work as a child actress at the age of three, by the time she became an adult, voice acting had inadvertently become her main occupation. Throughout her career, Nozawa has been affiliated with Production Baobab, 81 Produce, the self-owned Office Nozawa and Aoni Production. She is best known as the voice of Son Goku in the Dragon Ball franchise, beginning with its first animated adaptation in 1986. She also voices most of the character's male relatives, namely Son Gohan, Son Goten, and Bardock. Nozawa's other roles include Kitarō in GeGeGe no Kitarō (1968, 1971 and 2008), Doraemon in the 1973 anime, and Tetsurō Hoshino in Galaxy Express 999 (1978).
Credited as a pioneer of voice acting in Japan, Nozawa has received awards from the Animation Kobe Awards, Tokyo Anime Awards, Seiyu Awards, Japanese Movie Critics Awards, Japan Academy Film Prize, and the Kikuchi Kan Prize. Her work voicing Goku in Dragon Ball video games has earned her two Guinness World Records, including for the longest video game voice acting career. Nozawa is a vice president of the Japan Actors Union. Her husband was fellow voice actor Masaaki Tsukada.
